1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
Having a blast again today. Rear axle brake backing plates loaded into the cabinet.
All cleaned up, as well as some wheel adapters I picked up to go from 4" to 4.5" bolt pattern and some misc items.
Was wondering why I was starting to eat more dirt, and then it became clear...
Fortunately I was proactive for once in my life and have spares!
It's BBQ season again...
Fakes the factory Black Phosphorous finish pretty darn close once it cures.
Hung to bake..
Back to those wheel adapters above, that I bought from a member here. Just want to show the importance of cleaning used items before putting them into use. I have a set of mint 4.5" bolt pattern Road Wheels, with fairly fresh rubber, that I was considering rotating onto the car to be more "year" correct so I bought this pair of adapters for the back and my fronts I can move the studs from 4.0 to 4.5 on the aftermarket hubs.
As received, looking good.
After blasting the crud off... not so good.
